Answer 1

Check the debug port in your

standalone.sh

It must have been

DEBUG_MODE=true
DEBUG_PORT="8787"

Change the debug mode to false or pass a new debug port from the new sh file which calls this standalone --debug 8788

Answer 2

Usually this error occurs when the port is already in use. Based on my experience, this usually happen when the server didn't started successfully making the server still running in the process. If you're using windows, you can check out your Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) and then look for "java.exe" process. Terminate it and try to start your server again.

Answer 3

This problem occurs whenever the port required to run your server is already in use by some other application. Since the port number 8080 which i used for my jetty server was already in use,it gave me this error so I just changed the port from 8080 to 7070 and it worked for me..

Answer 4

The 8787 port is already in use. If the 8787 port in use by another application, you need to select a different port number in file run.bat For example, 18787

Answer 5

ERROR: transport error 202: bind failed: Address already in use
ERROR: JDWP Transport dt_socket failed to initialize, TRANSPORT_INIT(510) from "JAVA_OPTS: address=8787"

You set Address 8787

1. Find the PID

   netstat -ap | grep 8787
   

2. If you still see the PID with the above command, then there are child PIDs. To find the child PIDs

   pstree -p 
   

   and

   pstree -p  | grep previousPID
   

3. Find the groupPID of the PID

   ps x -o "%r %p %y %x %c" 
   

4. Kill the found PID

   kill -TERM -groupPID 
   

Answer 6

Notice the following start up parameter in your post.

-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8787,server=y,suspend=n 

There must be some other process occupied the 8787 port.
